Immortality cultivation starts from Dongxuan Lake

Chapter 64 Erysipelas

Lu Ming was quite emotional when he heard this.

He originally agreed to Master Chen Fu's participation in the exchange meeting, just to let Shopkeeper Xiao know that he had other places to go, to pay more attention to him, and to bring out more treasures.

But I didn't expect that this was taken too seriously. He actually praised him for being able to build a foundation. He was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

No, maybe it's just a courtesy.

"Shopkeeper Xiao's words are a bit frustrating to me. I haven't even reached the late stage of Qi training, how dare I hope to build a foundation?" Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.

Shopkeeper Xiao waved his hand and said, "What's the point? You're only in your twenties and you're proficient in Talismans. It won't be difficult for you in the later stages of Qi training."

"Then I would like to thank Shopkeeper Xiao for his good words." Lu Ming said, cupping his fists.

Then he asked impatiently: "Shopkeeper Xiao, I remember the previous agreement that the extra ancient talismans I drew can be exchanged for some precious treasures."

"Of course, I keep these things in mind." Shopkeeper Xiao said without hesitation.

"However, I just don't know what Master Lu wants to exchange for?"

Lu Ming did not hesitate and said bluntly: "I want to exchange for a Qi-nourishing pill. One ancient insect repellent charm for one Qi-nourishing pill should be more than enough."

"Ah."

After hearing his words, Shopkeeper Xiao frowned slightly and hesitated.

Seeing Shopkeeper Xiao's expression, Lu Ming immediately asked in a deep voice: "What, is this matter difficult?"

"it's not true."

Shopkeeper Xiao paused and asked, "Master Lu Fu, what do you need so many Qi-nourishing pills for? Do you want to use the power of the pills to reach the sixth level of Qi training?"

"This is natural." Lu Ming nodded and replied.

"After all, after further breakthroughs in cultivation, the five senses will be greatly enhanced and the success rate of drawing talismans will also be increased."

After hearing Lu Ming's answer, Shopkeeper Xiao's eyes narrowed and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

So he explained: "It's just that Qi-nourishing pills are really rare. Although there are indeed three pills in the store, I'm asking you for your own sake."

"You should know that Qi-nourishing pills can improve the cultivation level of monks in the middle stage of Qi training, and the effect is quite strong. Why is such a powerful pill not expensive?"

"Even if the Zhao family members don't take too much, do you know why?"

"why is that?"

When Lu Ming heard this, he felt a little strange in his heart. After all, the store was just a place to sell goods to earn Linling Stones. The Zhao family would never sell the truly precious treasures to outsiders.

From what Shopkeeper Xiao meant, the Qi Nourishing Pill had side effects that he didn't know about.

"Actually, after taking every kind of elixir, something called erysipelas will accumulate."

"The elixir that improves your cultivation is a benefit, but the elixir is naturally a disadvantage."

"Excellent alchemists can reduce the amount of erysipelas, and they also have a certain classification of elixirs. However, there is no such classification for elixirs here in Tailing Mountain. After all, we don't have many alchemists here, and the alchemy path is not prosperous."

"Really?" Lu Ming blinked. He knew a lot about the Tao of Talisman, but he knew nothing about the Tao of Alchemy.

This is also the first time I have heard of erysipelas.

"This matter is not a secret. Even if Master Lu goes to Baidan Hall to ask, it is the same. The guy there will tell you."

"For elixirs such as Qi Nourishing Pill to improve your cultivation, you can take up to four pills per year. In this way, monks meditating alone are enough to expel the erysipelas and won't have much impact."

"But if you take too much, once the erysipelas accumulates in the lungs, it will not only reduce your meditation skills a lot, but it will also be more difficult to break through in the future."

"Fellow Taoist has already taken one pill before. If you take it again, you may notice the presence of erysipelas."

"It's actually like this!"

Lu Ming was surprised. He had actually taken two pills. Why didn't he feel the erysipelas?

"Of course."

"If you can infinitely improve your cultivation by taking elixirs, how can the monks in the late stage of my Qi training be so valuable?" Shopkeeper Xiao shook his head and sighed: "Only those big sects and big families can support a huge number of people. Cultivation resources are consumed.” ˜ ˜ ˜ “We, a small family, don’t even dare to hope.”

Lu Ming suddenly realized that no wonder shopkeeper Xiao kept persuading him. This news made him smile bitterly.

He also wanted to break through the sixth level of Qi training directly by taking Qi nourishing pills, but he did not expect this to be the case.

"Is there no other way to eliminate erysipelas?" Lu Ming suddenly asked.

"After all, there are healing elixirs for injuries, and detoxifying elixirs for poisoning. So is there no way to remove the erysipelas?"

Hearing Lu Ming's question, shopkeeper Xiao touched the beard on his chin and couldn't help but feel a headache.

He knew that Lu Ming would not give up easily.

Looking at his eyes, he could only say helplessly: "It's true. The erysipelas is accumulated in the body in the early stage. The key is to expel it. If there is a secret method that can expel the erysipelas, you can take a large amount of elixirs to improve your cultivation."

"Shopkeeper Xiao, this is just a joke."

"I've never heard of erysipelas, so how can I tell you about the secret technique to eliminate erysipelas?"

"And didn't fellow Taoists say that? Even the children of the Zhao family don't take more pills. How can a casual cultivator like me get such a secret skill?" Lu Ming sighed.

"Haha, I just said it casually." Shopkeeper Xiao laughed awkwardly and continued: "But fellow Taoist, you don't have to be discouraged. There are other ways."

"Such as accelerating the cycle of oneself."

"Master Lu Fu, if you practice a certain kind of body training method to strengthen your qi and blood, and at the same time make your own qi and blood strong, and the speed of eliminating erysipelas is greatly increased, then you will take more pills every year."

"Based on the classification of body-refining cultivators, for each level you advance, you can probably take one more Qi-nourishing Pill."

When Lu Ming heard this, he was thoughtful, but there was a wry smile on his face.

"Physical training! Alas, the progress of this physical training monk is too expensive."

As he spoke, he shook his head, looking disappointed.

Seeing him like this, shopkeeper Xiao spread his hands and said, "Then there's nothing I can do."

Lu Ming pondered for a while and said: "Does the store have a spell to detect erysipelas? After all, I don't know what the extent of my erysipelas is. What if there are too many..."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen if you don't take too much."

"And detecting erysipelas is not a precious secret skill. 50 spirit stones are enough."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Ming frowned.

"Shopkeeper Xiao, we need spiritual stones for this."

"Isn't this a matter of course?" Shopkeeper Xiao glared at Lu Ming and said.

"In business, this is non-negotiable."

"Ok."

"However, I want these two Qi-nourishing Pills from Shopkeeper Xiao."

"That!"

Shopkeeper Xiao readily agreed, and then pushed two more wooden boxes over.

Lu Ming also handed over six amulets.

Seeing that Lu Ming knew the side effects of erysipelas and still decided to buy it, he didn't try to persuade him. Although he was a kind man, he wouldn't say it a second time and would annoy you if he said it too much.

When something goes wrong, he will blame you instead. It's not like he has never seen such a thing before.

"In addition to this spell to detect erysipelas, does Master Lu need anything else?" Shopkeeper Xiao asked in a routine manner.
